5 Best Dog Boarding Services in Dubai (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Fenris Morrow, Expert in Professional Services · ✓ Data verified August 2026 · 8 min read

A dog left at the wrong Dubai boarding kennel over a hot summer week can come home stressed or worse, so staffing and outdoor space matter more here than almost anywhere else. Dubai's leading dog boarding names have logged just over 1,600 Google reviews between them, and every single one of them sits at 4.6 stars or higher, which says more about the overall bar than any single pick does.

Short answer: Dog House and Zoomies Dog Daycare & Dog Boarding share the top rating on this page at 4.9 stars, with Dog House carrying the deeper review base at 334 reviews against Zoomies' 282. Woof Pets Services has boarded some Dubai dogs for over a decade, rated 4.8 across 287 reviews. None of the businesses here publish a fixed nightly boarding rate, so confirm cost directly when you call.

How we score these boarding kennels

Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the verified date below, not from opinion or payment. Rating is each business’s live Google star average. Review volume shows how many customers have rated them, measured against other Dubai dog-boarding businesses. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.9 from hundreds of reviews carries more weight than a 4.9 from a handful. Recency reflects how recently people are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.

How much does dog boarding cost in Dubai? (2026)

None of the kennels on this page publish a public nightly rate card, and cost typically depends on your dog’s size, the length of stay, and whether grooming or extra playtime add-ons are included. The most reliable way to budget is to call and ask for current rates directly, since several of these facilities apply add-on fees for extras like night-time updates or one-on-one play sessions.

Dog boarding across Dubai

Nearly every kennel on this page clusters around Al Quoz, Dubai’s pet-care hub, which makes it easy to compare a few in person on the same trip if you want to see the facilities yourself. Searching for dog boarding near me? Every listing below shows a live phone number and address so you can check the closest option before you book.

What to ask before boarding your dog

  • Is the facility cage-free, and can I see the actual boarding area first?
  • How much outdoor time and exercise does my dog get each day?
  • Are staff on site overnight, and is there a vet on call?
  • What’s included in the base rate versus billed as an add-on?
  • How often will I get updates during the stay?
  • How does the facility manage heat during summer months?

Frequently asked questions

How did you choose these dog boarding kennels?

We started from every dog boarding business in Dubai with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency, and recency. See How we score above.

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How often is this updated?

The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.

Do these kennels handle both boarding and day care?

Yes, all five of the businesses here run day care alongside overnight boarding, and several also offer grooming and training from the same site.

How much does dog boarding cost in Dubai?

None of the businesses on this page publish a fixed public rate, since pricing depends on dog size, stay length, and add-ons. Ask each kennel directly for its current rate before booking.

The bottom line

Dog House and Zoomies both edge out the field on rating, but Dogventure HQ’s on-site vet and camera access make it the safest default if peace of mind matters more than a marginal ratings difference. Whichever you choose, ask to see the kennel in person before your dog’s first stay.
